Murray won his first gold medal on grass at Wimbledon at the 2012 London Olympics by defeating Roger Federer in three straight seats and retained his title in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 by beating Juan Martin del Potro on hard courts.

He withdrew from singles at Wimbledon this month after a procedure to remove a cyst from his spine.
